Rollout is underway and will continue through 2006 and 2007, according to NCR.
The RealPOS 80 terminal is offered in a variety of models, with processor performance ranging from a 1.2 GHz Celeron processor to a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4, and memory ranging from 256 MB to 2 GB. Both analog VGA and digital DVI-I video are supported, and dual video is available on some models.
Connectivity ports include four powered USB ports, four RS232 (three powered), and Ethernet. The units are also "wireless ready," according to NCR.
Both a hard disk drive and a CompactFlash slot are standard, as is a CD-ROM drive. Expansion is accommodated with three PCI slots. Integrated battery backup is available as an option.
NCR is a Gold-level member of Microsoft's Windows Embedded Partner program, based on its broad range of point-of-sales/service (POS) products and technologies, including POS systems, bar-code scanners, wireless electronic shelf labels, signature capture, RFID, and biometrics.
